vision/eye
• eyes exhibit thickened pupillary sphincter muscle
|
• cortical and nuclear lens cells are severely shortened and disorganized
• however, lens epithelial cells appear normal
• although retinal rosetting is seen, the retina is laminated which suggests that rosetting may be caused by lens rupture and not by a retinal development defect
|
• lens capsule is ruptured and lenticular material is seen in the vitreal cavity and the anterior chamber
|
• severely disrupted vacuolated lenses with ruptured lens capsule and lenticular material in the vitreal cavity and some lenticular material in the anterior chamber
|
• nuclear cataracts are seen at P14 that by P28 progress to total cataracts characterized by vacuoles present throughout the entire lens
|
reproductive system
• marker analysis indicates disrupted acrosomal formation
|
• seminiferous tubules are disorganized
|
small testis

|
cellular
• mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibit an accumulation of enlarged lipid droplets following oleic acid supplementation
• however, Golgi structures appear normal in MEFs
|
• marker analysis indicates disrupted acrosomal formation
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• seminiferous tubules are disorganized
